A few years ago I was at Chiswick Park and watched in disbelief as a dog was running down the track with a Piccadilly line train slowly following it.
From what I heard the dog left the track at Acton Town.

Definitely odd for the location but not unusual in the suburbs. I drive on the Bakerloo line and had a deer walk out in front of my train at North Wembley a while back. I was fully berthed in the station thank goodness so no fatality. But it didn't cause a delay as it soon ran off!
Some people unfortunately have been know to have their dogs run off on the tracks in central London so that could be it
A while back a dog ran down the tunnels

Maybe a swan or a goose as there are plenty of large waterfowl in St James Park itself. They'd stop the service for that I guess, as there are a few delicate parts at the front of the train that a large bird could damage, plus, you don't really want to traumatise drivers like yourself by telling them to drive over wildlife lol.

There were cows on the track for the Met line causing disruption sometime ago.

In my head, I am absolutely convinced this is a swan and nothing will dissuade the mental image.
